WWE Recap: Who’s Left?
I don’t pretend to understand why WWE does the things they do; decisions seem to be made like a freshman year film major writing their first script. It’s whatever seems most shocking in the moment, regardless of how it will serve them in the long run. Last weekend, they released…

WWE Recap: Boss is Back in Town
Covid numbers keep rising, rising, rising, and WWE keeps booking shows. While we can all agree wrestling with an audience is vastly superior to wrestling with a bunch of screens in the stands, lax mask mandates and close contact makes me just a bit anxious to watch Nikki celebrate in…

WWE Recap: Missionary Problems
Fans have been back for 14 days, and it’s incredible to see how much the shows seemed to have improve. Quality wise, Raw is insistent on showing the same four matches every week, but at least now we get to hear real people shouting “What?” instead of piped in boos…

WWE Recap: Ladies Love Moderately Unhinged Lashley
For the first time in 16 months, WWE talent performed in front of real people for a weekly show. What a time to be alive. While this crowd arguably would have clapped for anything, they got a pretty fun show on Friday night. A huge pop for Edge, a 30…

WWE Recap: Who Speared First?
Bayley has quietly been one of the leaders of the ThunderDome Era; whether she was reigning as champ or cackling maniacally, she made everybody look good while rocking some excellent pairs of black skinny jeans. It’s a shame that an injury takes her out of action just before WWE returns…

WWE Recap: Is This a Re-Run?
I’m beginning to wonder if the Raw creative team genuinely doesn’t realize that they’ve been showing the same episode since WrestleMania. There’s just no other explanation for booking another Drew McIntyre title shot. At least NXT’s main event was fresh and new, in that it happened last month and then…

WWE Recap: Roses are Red, Pyrokinesis is Orange
As usual, this was a mixed week for WWE. They released several NXT talents on Wednesday and Thursday, some more understandable than others. Among the more surprising releases are Alexander Wolfe, who has been a part of Imperium for some time now, Jessamyn Duke, of the Four Horsewomen, and Brandi…

It’s the go-home week for WrestleMania Backlash, which is retaining all pirate theming despite taking place in the already weather themed ThunderDome. WWE set the stage for their marquee matches with two options; running the exact same story we just saw last week, and giving us the in-ring return of…

WWE Recap: Say You’re Sorry
We’ve got two weeks to Backlash WrestleMania style, so WWE is doing their best to get guys fighting. While Charlotte Flair continued to whine her way through the women’s division, Raw also doubled down on the enemies to friends to enemies storyline, proving that two dudes over 6’2” could never…

WWE Recap: Men in Suits (Also, Trunks and Kilts)
In their usual post-WrestleMania celebration, WWE embarked on “spring cleaning” this week, which means letting go a bunch of wrestlers under the guise of budget cuts during a time where they made record profits. Among the cuts, some of the most surprising were Samoa Joe, who literally just called Mania,…

The upcoming TakeOver will also span two nights, which makes five nights of in-ring WWE wrestling for the second week in April. I’m already exhausted. Chief Hurt Officer Shows Off…

WWE Recap: Business is Booming
I admire WWE’s attempt to make Fastlane remotely intriguing this year; it tends to usually fall flat, given the unfortunate task of leading into Mania without making any changes that lead to ticket refunds. Still, this week secured us Bryan vs Reigns again, which I’ll never complain about, and gave…
